Abstract (en)

A system for tracking a surgical tool relative to a bone in computer-assisted surgery, comprising: a processing unit; and a non-transitory computer-readable memory communicatively coupled to the processing unit and comprising computer-readable program instructions executable by the processing unit for: tracking the surgical tool relative to the bone; merging virtual models of the surgical tool and the bone to the surgical tool and the bone in the tracking; calculating a location of a working end of the surgical tool relative to the bone using the tracking, in a concealed condition of the working end of the surgical tool relative to the bone; and outputting the location of the working end of the surgical tool relative to the bone.
